What I Used:
​

The How-To:
​

I started by cutting the piece of fabric into four strips. But not all in the same direction. Two were cut vertically and the other two horizontally. You'll see why a little bit further down.
​

​I then attached them to each other with a stapler. and thus having one long strip. You can also use a needle and thread, I was just in too much of a rush.

Have I ever mentioned that fall is my favorite season?
​

I then pulled out threads so that the ends became frayed. Because the weave of my fabric was made from two different colored threads I ended up with white fraying on two of the strips of fabric, and a taupe color on the other two.
​

​Here is what it looked like after I wrapped the strips around the wire form. Can you see the different colored frayed edges? I just have one form that I use each season when I make my wreath. No need to clutter up the house with many wreaths.

The last step was to stick the faux flowers into the openings of the fabric strips.
​

​And here it is on the door. It is full of color on one side and not so much on the other. Of course this was deliberate. So that we can admire the colorful side even more.
​

For the two flower bunches, I mixed them up so as not to have one bunch of red and a bunch of cream. Did you know they pull off of their stems?​

​I think it is a great representation of fall and all her colors. You can see lots more seasonal wreaths here.
​

You can see the frayed edges here. They certainly make for a much more interesting look on the one side of the wreath that I left plain.
​

There was even a pine cone in the mix.
​

​I have to say that having a Dollar Store nearby really makes things so much easier, not like when I was living in Greece where I couldn't find any decent fall decor at all and had to resort to painting everything.
​

So now my door is all decked out and ready for the fall weather which has shown up right on cue! Sweaters are coming out of hiding and the aroma of pumpkin spice has taken over the house. I hope you'll try this simple fall wreath with dollar store items. We all need to great this colorful season with a pretty wreath.

Do you change out your front door decor each season?

Isn't it so strange. Our favorite days fall on the same day, but for me it's SPRING!!!!!! Yay. Love your wreath Mary. The colors are so perfect for representing fall. Warm, cuddly with a hint of spice.

LOVE this Mary! Great idea with the way you cut the fabric. Seriously would NEVER guess Dollar store! I do always have something on my front door but not always a wreath. I also like that you use the same form over. I love doing things that are multi purpose to save storage space.

Love your fall wreath, Mary! So simple to create and I love that you can find these things easily at the local dollar store. I used that same wreath holder last year to make the simple boxwood wreath that I hung over my reindeer head at Christmas time, but then I unlinked the largest ring to use. Great project and happily pinning and sharing! <3

Your wreath is beautiful Mary! Perfect for Fall, and you would never know the things came from the dollar store. It's looks like the more expensive wreaths. Love the colors,and it looks so easy to make.
I have two favorite seasons Spring, because I get to plant, and Fall. Only thing bad about fall is it's leaf raking time. LOL. And we have lots of trees.
